26 Charmers Say?:

Lois Evensen said...

wow. Both structures are really, really neat! Nice images!

Ann Nichols said...

So amazing that something built of wood should last so long!

Sinbad and I on the Loose said...

That looks like a neat place to have as a little retreat far away from it all. Wonder if the homes built today would last 177 years?

ladyfi said...

Wow - gorgeous pictures of a beautiful house.

Halcyon said...

I like the "old" effect, but this house also has beauty in its own right!

Jim Klenke said...

I wouldnt want to have to go to trial in there.

Margaret said...

This drew me right in... and I would literally LOVE to see the inside. The barn tugs at my heartstrings as well. Great layer on the house - it is charming both ways. Very nice work.

Amish Stories said...

That cabin built in 1834 and still standing, that blows me away. My question is "is someone living in that now"?. Richard

Tricia said...

Hi Sinbad & I, I doubt that very very seriously... I live in a house that was built in 1942 & has already been thru 2 renovations, one of which was MAJOR, completely gutted & is now like new! So 177 years? Nah, not even 77!!! They don't do anything these days like they used to... sad to say, but true

Tricia said...

Hi Amish Stories, No I don't think anyone lives there. I think the Historical Society takes care of it, now. Thank you =)

Tricia said...

Hey Jim, Needless to say, I don't think I wanna go to trial ANYWHERE, much less here! LoL! =)

That's a neat little cabin!

Judy said...

Oh wow, I love both of these buildings Tricia. You find the neatest structures.

A fine shot of this very early courthouse and later home. I like being able to see the original which looks very good in this one. Nice old structures in this series.

Ebie said...

I love the transformation!

Betsy from Tennessee said...

Wow ---that's an awesome house to be built in 1834... I like the original better than the textured--but they are both good.
Hugs,
Betsy

Tanya said...

oh the history this little house has!

Gail Dixon (Louisiana Belle) said...

What a cool structure. So old! Would love to know what kind of law breaking was going on in 1834 and how court was conducted back then. So fascinating!

bettyjf1 said...

Oh I love that old house! Love what you did to the picture too :)

George said...

That second structure is very interesting. I like your edit of the picture of the house, but the original is very good as well.

Mari said...

What great old buildings! I love the processing too!

montucky said...

I love that! It's good to see those structures preserved!

lisa said...

These are wonderful Tricia!!
Does someone still live in the first one?
How lucky you were to be able to photograph this!

Thank you so much for sharing this at the Creative Exchange.

Have a wonderful evening!

lisa.

Pieces of Sunshine said...

Lovely to see such an old wooden building still in one pieces. Makes me think of Little House on The Prairie era.
